I love the cane back. The cushions are loose and lets the cane be seen more. Comfy cushions. Husband's first comment was "looks nice". When he sat down in it he broke into a huge grin and said "it a lot more comfortable than it looks!" Size is moderate, not huge. Going to order ottoman to go with it now that I have determined there is room. Ordered it Monday night, delivered Wednesday evening! Love this chair.
